The washing machine went downstairs into the basement & the utility sink was removed when the rest of the plumbing work was done weeks ago, so the room is really only needing some paint & new flooring before it's ready to use.
Some before photos:
Shot from the door, with dining room behind me.
Shingles from the original exterior of the first extension (the one with the kitchen). I peeked inside a crack in the vinyl siding on the front of the house & discovered that the whole house had been this color before the siding was put on in the 90s.
The window that looks into the rest of the house. This is the original exterior of the house itself.
Water stains on the sheetrock, from the utility sink that had been there. It's been suggested to us to make this room into a second bathroom -- if we decide to do that, the water lines are still there, ready to go.
The old lineoleum.
This morning, I washed down the painted/shingled walls, & pulled up the lineoleum. By 1pm today, the yellow paint on the shingles was much yellower, & this is where we stood with the floor:
This is the threshold, with the original fir softwood floors under the much newer oak hardwood floors.
We're going to pick up some primer & some new flooring this week. No need to pick up painting equipment because Roger generously lent us all his stuff, & no need to pick up paint because Amanda & Matt generously gave us a can of paint left over from when they painted their bedroom. Thank you, Roger, Amanda, & Matt!

Hopefully by this time next week, I will be posting photos of the room all finished. Wish us luck!
